What Xbox Live Arcade Games Should I Get?

[Tino]

I just got my 360 about a month ago and I just got a Microsoft points card. I was wondering if anyone knows any stand out games in the arcade. I got Contra and it's okay. I'm happy the games offer achievements too.

double dragon
golden axe (thanks to gil telling me it was available)
jewel quest (this game eats up so much time when ever I fire it up)
tmnt

theres plenty of selection for just about everyone's taste, which is what makes it pretty damn sweet.

sonic the hedgehog is always great

[Swartzweldian]

Golden Axe is great.

This is funny if you know the game:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a must.

[erock]

when I had my 360, marble blast ultra and hexic were my faves.

[Tino]

thx i heard castlevania was one of the best in the arcade.

I'd say Golden axe.

Geometry Wars Evolved, Astropop, Marble Blast Ultra, and Crystal Quest are pretty fun. Hexic HD too but it's already pre-loaded.

UNO, castlevania, golden axe, sonic the hedgehog, and geometry wars are some of the best XBLA games. avoid the midway ones as much as you can especially robotron and joust cause they suck and have impossible achievements.

tmnt, uno, and marble blast are the mains ones I play.

Marathon: Durandal. It was released on the Mac around 1996 and is made by Bungie, who later made Halo. Great arcade shooter.

Heavy Weapon is not bad either.
